Smile why did i take up nursing?

i just wanted to greet evrybody..

TOP TEN REASONS WHY I TAKE UP NURSING!
1. Pays better than fast food… though the hours aren’t that good.
2. Fashionable shoes and sexy white uniforms.
3. Needles!!!... better to give than to receive.
4. Reassure patients that all bleeding will stop… eventually.
5. Expose yourself to rare, exotic and exciting new diseases.
6. Interesting aromas.
7. Courteous and infallible doctor’s who always leave clear orders in perfectly legible handwriting!
8. Do enough charting to navigate around the world.
9. Celebrate holidays with all your friends… at work!
10. Take comfort that most of your patients survive… no matter what you do to them!!!
Life is simple… eat… sleep… nurse…
